Škoda’s performance portfolio is taking a powerful leap forward with the arrival of the all-new Elroq vRS – the marque’s most potent production vehicle to date. Priced from £46,560 (OTR) and set to hit UK roads this summer, the Elroq vRS combines high-voltage pace with everyday practicality, delivering 340 PS, a 339-mile range (WLTP), and a fresh dose of visual drama.

Electrified Power, Refined Precision

At the heart of the Elroq vRS is a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup powered by an 84 kWh (79 kWh usable) battery – the largest in the Elroq family. With 340 PS at its disposal, the vRS dispatches 0–62 mph in just 5.4 seconds, making it not only the fastest Elroq but also the fastest Škoda production model ever built. Despite its performance credentials, the Elroq vRS retains long-distance capability, offering a 339-mile WLTP range and rapid DC charging up to 185 kW – meaning 10–80% top-ups take as little as 26 minutes.

Sporty Design That Doesn’t Shout – It Roars

The Elroq vRS wears its intent proudly. Exclusive to the model is the striking vRS-only Hyper Green paint finish, which pairs with bold 20-inch Draconis black alloys and contrasting black exterior detailing – from the roof rails to the window surrounds. The look is capped off by Škoda’s new Illuminated Tech-Deck Face – a gloss-black grille that introduces the brand’s Modern Solid design language with a futuristic twist. For those seeking even more presence, 21-inch Vision anthracite alloys are available as an option.

A Cabin That Mixes Sport with Serenity

Step inside, and the Elroq vRS continues to make a bold statement. The vRS Lounge Design Selection is exclusive to this variant and features microsuede and artificial leather sports seats with integrated headrests and massage functionality for the driver. Lime green contrast stitching and carbon-look inlays inject a motorsport-inspired edge, while a three-spoke heated sports steering wheel puts control at the driver’s fingertips.

Technology is equally front and centre. A five-inch digital cockpit, expansive 13-inch infotainment touchscreen, and augmented reality head-up display combine to deliver a cutting-edge user experience. Add a CANTON premium sound system and area view camera, and the Elroq vRS becomes as intuitive to operate as it is thrilling to drive.

Engineered to Entertain

Performance isn’t just about numbers – it’s about feel. To that end, the Elroq vRS is equipped as standard with adaptive Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) and sports suspension, offering a tailored blend of agility and ride comfort. Upgraded brakes with two-piston calipers and enhanced heat resistance deliver confidence-inspiring stopping power, whether threading through twisty B-roads or cruising motorways.

Versatility, the Škoda Way

While it’s the sportiest Elroq, the vRS remains true to Škoda’s ethos of everyday usability. A generous 470-litre boot expands to 1,580 litres with the rear seats folded flat, while clever touches like a variable boot floor, net storage, and a hands-free virtual pedal make it a genuinely practical performer.

On Sale This June

With order books opening mid-June and first deliveries expected this summer, the Elroq vRS is set to redefine what an electric performance SUV can be – blending dynamic capability with practical intelligence and a bold visual identity.
